JFI Tamarind Round-up

7 July 2008 58 Comments

The talent and enthusiasm of my fellow food bloggers never cease to amaze me! I asked you all to come up with a dish that features Tamarind, and you all happily played along! I am overwhelmed by your support! There are enough varieties of Tamarind based dishes to create a full-fledged multi course meal. My heartfelt thanks to all the participants and a special thanks to Indira of Mahanandi, creator of Jihva for Ingredients for this opportunity!

Without further ado, presenting the JFI-Tamarind round up!

Note: This round-up was generated automatically from the entries you have submitted through the entry form, after a bit of tweaking and re-categorizing. I have double checked to make sure that all the entries are included, but in case I am missing your entry, please e-mail me or leave a comment in this post.
